She has great balance and rarely falls over but even if she does she goes right on playing without crying. Rosie absolutely loves swimming in the pool. She kicks and splashes and giggles a lot. She babbles like crazy all day long and has started saying "dadada" as well. She melts our hearts now because she reaches out for us to pick her up and then pats us on the back repeatedly afterward.<br /><br />This last month she learned how to jump, that is pretty much all she does all day long (in our laps, in the walker, in her bed, etc.) Lately, she has so much energy that we have to wear her out before bedtime and so we put her in the "Jenny Jump Up." Andrew taught her how to crawl this last week and she still sort of cries and whines like we are torturing her when we want her to show off her new trick. It is hilarious and so darn cute when she slides down on her belly and pushes with her feet and elbows (military style) to get closer to us and then pauses to put her face down on the floor and pout only to start up again. My favorite new trick that she has learned is clapping. When we sing Patty Cake or clap for her then she starts clapping as well and I love it! The last thing that I have documented and noticed is that Rosie sometimes has shy moments when will lay her head down on my shoulder if someone is trying to talk to her.<br /><br />I love this girl and I especially love seeing how much she loves Andrew and I back. We are so lucky to be her parents.Laura G.

It has something to do with the fact that I am no longer a college student jumping through hoops for my professors and everything to do with the fact that I love my little family and the stage we are in at this very moment.<br /><br />Our life together is not perfect but it is in my eyes as I seek to find the good in those less than perfect moments. We still make very little money working less than ideal jobs but somehow we make ends meet for the necessities and whatever we have leftover we spend happily on movies and food. We have always loved living close to both of our families but we find ourselves enjoying it even more as Rosie gets to know her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins so well. We are so fortunate to have good friends who we love spending our nights with playing cards and talking about life and of course laughing a lot too. Andrew and I have told each other countless times since Rosie was born how blessed we are to have a healthy and happy little girl. She fills each day with new and exciting wonders and so much joy. We have and are currently seeing so many blessings pouring into our lives and we are grateful for the gospel that helps ground us and provide hope for the future.<br /><br />Life is simple but wonderful right now and I dare say that I am happier than ever.Laura G.

But to help myself remember the small, simple beauties of my everyday with Rosie I keep a long running note on my phone and add to it each time I see or experience something new and exciting with her.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Monthly%20Pics/IMG_7973_zps487cbb0b.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Monthly%20Pics/photo-16_zps566ca0f8.jpg" width="343px" /><br />(**Disclaimer: This part was written two months ago when I began this post so I left it as is and didn't add a word.) This girl is growing up fast, yet she still feels and looks so tiny to me. She has learned to like tummy time [finally] and we have even witnessed her rolling over from her back to her tummy a few times just this last week (end of April...) We love to cheer her on as she discovers new things. Rosie loves one-on-one attention so she can look us in the eyes. She loves to smile and talk to us a lot everyday. I have a feeling she will be a little chatter box. Grandma Helen gave her some laminated pictures and we carry them around with us everywhere because she really likes to look at them. She focuses really hard and gets a serious face on like she is studying each one. Another funny thing that she has started doing is trying to eat her fists, sometimes both at the same time.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Monthly%20Pics/Rosie5months_zpsef5ae486.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Monthly%20Pics/Rosie6months_zps267b8928.jpg" width="343px" /><br />Month five was spent living at my parent's house while Andrew was in NYC for an internship. We spent a lot of time playing with grandmas, aunts and cousins. My mom and sisters helped me train Rosie to take bottles in order to fatten her up. She was a little on the small side at her four month Dr. appointment so we took her eating/sleeping/pooping patterns pretty seriously that month. My mom also encouraged me to get Rosie sleeping in her crib instead of her swing and by the end of the month when we moved home, she was sleeping in a crib like a champ.<br /><br />Rosie turned six months a little over a week ago and boy have we seen the changes rolling in everyday in the last little while. She can now sit up on her own and grins so big like she is proving that she is a "big girl" while doing so. She is a pretty good eater though I only get around to feeding her real baby food about once or twice a day (I know I should be better about this.) We started giving her a snack called "Puffs" this last week and she has a little bit of a hard time keeping them in her mouth but she is persistent at trying to eat them. Her giggle is now a daily occurrence and each time I hear it my heart melts. I'm certain there is nothing cuter. Rosie's little personality has starting showing a lot more lately. She is goofy like her dad and gets hangry like her mom. She has started sticking the tip of her tongue out and waiting until someone notices and laughs and then she laughs too. Her first experience swimming was this last month and she kicks and splashes in the water a lot. The last little thing I want to record about her is her new trick: Babbling. It is hilarious and I have tried to capture it on video so many times. She babbles playfully, happily and sometimes it gets serious and sounds like she is lecturing me about something that she really wants me to hear.<br /><br />Oh how we love her so!<br />(more and more each day!)Laura G.

There are so many women in my life that I look up to. These women have what it takes to be mothers. Their individual examples have shaped my beliefs of what it means to be a mother. I owe everything to my mother and her devotion to me and my sisters.<br /><br />A mother is kind.<br />A mother is patient.<br />A mother is loving.<br />A mother stays up late to help you finish seemingly endless school projects (even when you are in college). <br />A mother is playful.<br />A mother is creative.<br />A mother is her child's first best friend.<br />A mother is lovely.<br />A mother is graceful.<br />A mother can multitask like it's no one's business. <br />A mother is reliable.<br />A mother is devoted.<br />A mother cares more about others than herself.<br />A mother is smart.<br />A mother gives her all even when there is nothing left to give.<br />A mother is honest.<br />A mother loves to talk to her child about anything and everything.<br />A mother is beautiful.<br />A mother is unforgettable.<br /><br />Of course there are a bajillion more aspects that make up a mother but these are some that stand out to me. My thoughts have continually been focused on motherhood ever since I became pregnant a little over a year ago.<br /><br />I am so grateful for Rosie. She has given me the opportunity to be a mother. And now that I am in these shoes I feel how big they are and how hard I am going to have to work to fill them. I only hope I can embody the above mentioned characteristics and be a good mother to Rosie. She deserves the world and I will do my best to give her the tools to succeed in life as the women in my life have done for me.<br /><br /><br />Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers {women} out there. I hope you feel *especially* loved and appreciated today.Laura G.

We were beyond thrilled when a summer internship was looking like a possibility for Andrew way back in January. It took a while for everything to become finalized and to figure out the finances but I am so proud of Andrew for working so incredibly hard this semester to make this whole thing a reality.<br /><br />He will be interning with a freelance illustrator named Peter deSeve who lives in Brooklyn and works mostly from his home studio. Andrew will also have the chance to learn a little bit about the gallery system in Brooklyn as he has the chance to volunteer for my cousin out there who owns and operates his own successful gallery and non-profit art/dance organization.<br /><br />Now I need to share for a moment in complete honesty...<br /><br />Although I am beyond happy for Andrew to be having these life-changing experiences, my only wish is that Rosie and I could be tagging along with him. I wish that my job and our financial obligations would disappear for the month of May and that all three of us could be adventuring in the Big Apple together. I have been dreaming of the delicious food and walking the streets with Rosie as we chose to spend each day going to galleries, museums and spending time in Central Park. I really love traveling and getting to know places outside of my long-time home of Provo and despite the face that I have been to NYC a few times already, it is always a fun "new" place to visit.<br /><br />So since Rosie and I will not have the chance to go to NYC with Andrew, we need to keep ourselves sane here without him. In the first few days I swear Rosie was trying her hardest to wear me down as she insisted on waking up every hour during the night to cry and then nurse and then fall right back to sleep. Even though I was not awake for very long, the repeated motion of getting in and out of bed was almost killing me as I had to peal my eyes open just to try and take care of her needs. I have a new-found respect for single mothers who do this ALL on their own ALL of the time. I know that I owe lots of thanks already to my family and friends for helping me with Rosie and letting me take an occasional nap.<br /><br />I am hoping this month will fly by with as few breakdowns as possible on my side of the country and as many exciting experiences as possible on Andrew's side of the country.Laura G.

My heart is aching to go along because I love that city so much but sadly Rosie and I will be staying in P-town on our own. We will miss him like crazy!<br /><br />-The Annual Girl's Trip that I go on every year with my friends will be in May. We are going to St. George to relax and play. Rosie will be tagging along this year too. Lucky her!<br /><br />-I have set some lofty goals to start painting again and to schedule a solo show in a gallery by the end of this month to push myself to make more work.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">June:</span><br /><br />-Zundels are putting a pool in their backyard that should be completed this month and we cannot way to take Rosie swimming everyday. Her grandma is an awesome swim teacher and I'm hoping Rosie will like being in the water.<br /><br />-Both Andrew and my birthdays are this month so June always guarantees lots of celebration with cake, presents and family. (Not only are our birthdays this month but 3 of my sisters and 1 of my nephews as well.)<br /><br />-We hope to make it out of Provo at least one during June. Typically our destination of choice is St. George since it is fairly close but still far enough to feel like we are getting away and because we have a free place to stay there and you can't beat free. We love the good local eats and the beautiful hikes we go on down there.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">July:</span><br /><br />-A Zundel wedding will take place. I cannot wait to have another sister-in-law. Adrienne is a doll! I foresee this month totally consumed by wedding plans and preparation.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">August:</span><br /><br />-So far August is free and open. We will have to plan some fun adventures for our little family to end the summer before Andrew starts school again.Laura G.

She wakes up in the morning and after eating she usually goes back down for a long nap (2-3 hours). Each time she wakes up, I look forward to being the one who picks her up out of her swing because I am greeted by the<br />most<br />adorable<br />really<br />HUGE<br />smiles.<br />Of course we have hundreds of these cheesy grin of photos by now but here are a few that I love.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20After-Nap%20Smiles/photo2_zpsfca32eb3.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20After-Nap%20Smiles/photo2_zps32a97745.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20After-Nap%20Smiles/photo1_zpsa1a88601.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20After-Nap%20Smiles/photo3_zps0930156d.jpg" width="343px" /> Other times we can catch a sweet Rosie smile are during a diaper change, while giving her a bath, and always when she is talking to her daddy.<br /><br />Happy 3 months little lady!

I can't believe my baby is two months old and counting. I'm sure I will be saying those words for the rest of her life (like most other parents) but she really is growing too fast.<br /><br />In the last month Rosie has become a lot more aware of her surroundings and a lot more playful. She loves to make eye contact and smile and coo at whoever is talking to her. She loves to wiggle on her fluffy pink rug on the floor. In fact she wiggles so much now that it's hard to get a clear picture of her at all anymore because usually one limb or another is blurry. Her dad loves to come home from school at night and spend time with her. He can make her smile bigger than anyone else. They have a special little connection and I love it. Rosie loves to go for long walks and we have been lucky to have such nice weather lately that she and I have gone out almost everyday. She still loves to be swaddled tight for her naps and sleeping at night. She sleeps in her swing because she loves the motion and most nights she only wakes up once to eat and then goes right back down. Rosie loves taking baths. She smiles and kicks like crazy in the warm water. And I have to say there is nothing better than a clean yummy baby.<br /><br />We took her to her 2 month doctor appointment and she weighed in at 10lbs 9oz and measured 24 inches long. She had to get shots that day and that was the hardest thing for me to watch. For the next two days she was a pretty sad girl who wanted to be held and cuddled a lot. <br /><br />Rosie is such a sweet addition to our family. She brings happiness into our lives everyday and we love her.Laura G.

One being that she doesn't always take a bottle for a babysitter and another being just the fact that we love her too much to leave her. So we planned our day to be as baby friendly as possible and she tagged along.<br /><br />Andrew worked a half day and I got our taxes filed in the morning and then at noon it was off to Salt Lake to play. We rarely make it up there so it is always a fun adventure when we do. We decided to go to the zoo and it was a blast. We loved seeing all of the animals and despite the fact that it was windy and chilly outside, it was a huge success. Most of the animals were out and about and so active. My three favorites were the otters, the little monkeys and of course the TIGER.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0870_zps6e8e6ddf.jpg" width="700px" /><br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0852_zpsca57660f.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0840_zps9c522e0a.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0846_zps3f99a9a6.jpg" width="700px" />All of the animals seriously loved Andrew and came right up to the glass to play with him. The monkeys were the funniest by far and kept reaching out to touch his face that was right up close to the glass. So entertaining. <img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0860_zpsdb16604f.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/photo2_zps56da751f.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0862_zpscbdd339a.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/photo1_2_zps112bef9f.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/IMG_0869_zps90648a27.jpg" width="700px" />After the zoo we did a little shopping. Andrew and I each got a few things to spruce up our wardrobe. It's always fun to get a few new things that I can look forward to wearing. Then it was off to our dinner reservation. I have to admit this part of the evening was not too baby friendly and we got some stares in the restaurant but Rosie was beyond perfect and allowed us to enjoy eating our fancy meal together. <img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/3rd%20Anniversary%20Zoo/photo3_zps6cae57a5.jpg" width="700px" />We met the sweetest couple sitting across from us at dinner. They overheard us telling the waitress that it was our anniversary and the man faked having to go to the bathroom only to order and pay for two delicious appetizers for us. The waitress came out to take our order and brought us the two dishes saying that some people in the restaurant wished us a happy anniversary.<br /><br />I was blown away by the generosity.<br /><br />I thanked them a million times because I knew it couldn't have been anyone else in the restaurant but them. We ended up talking to them for more than half of our meal until they were finished and ready to leave. At which point I thanked them again from the bottom of my heart for being so thoughtful and sweet to us even though we were practically strangers. They simply said how they remember being in our same situation not long ago <br /><br />They asked us to pass it on one day in the future.<br />And to that I responded, "Will do."<br /><br />I hope to remember this special act of kindness when Andrew and I are older and more financially stable. I would love to pass on the thoughtfulness of this sweet couple to another family. It made our night so memorable.

And even though it's cheesy and cliche, I have to say, these have been the best years of my life. In this one year alone so many exciting things have happened so I decided to do a little recap.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/IMG_0151_zpsb80972cb.jpg" width="700px" />Year 3 in review (March 2013-March 2014):<br /><br />-finished up Winter 2013 semester (I was sick and tired and didn't find out why until April 18th)<br />-found out we were having a baby<br />-worked our tails off during the summer to save up money<br />-celebrated our birthdays in June and announced to family that a baby would be joining our family in December<br />-I was served court papers to be sued in a lawsuit for being involved in a three-car accident in the summer of 2012 (this is currently still going on by the way)<br />-went to the doctor more times in my entire life combined (over the whole nine months of pregnancy)<br />-got to see our baby on ultrasound 5 different times (one of which we found out we were having a girl)<br />-prepared a baby girl nursery in our second bedroom that was formerly storing art and lots of other junk that I was too lazy to go through and throw away until then<br />-Andrew got a new job illustrating courses for BYU Independent Study<br />-started my last semester of college in Fall 2013<br />-created lots of art (both Andrew and I)<br />-I finished my BFA show and put it up in the HFAC for others to see (all while 35 weeks pregnant)<br />-finished Fall semester in December two days before my due date<br />-spent Christmas relaxing and enjoying time together and with family<br />-got to meet our new baby girl on December 30th and spend two days of bliss in the hospital just the three of us<br />-our first night home from the hospital was New Year's Eve<br />-Andrew started school again in January (weirdest feeling that I wasn't going back!)<br />-Rosie had her two month doctor's appointment and had to get a few shots which was the saddest thing for me to watch<br />-currently I stay home and take care of Rosie everyday and continue to work part-time as an apartment manager and Andrew is finishing up this semester of school and still working for BYU Independent Study as an illustrator (he hates leaving home everyday because he says he misses Rosie too much)<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/IMG_0076-1_zps282e9b95.jpg" width="700px" /><br />Happy Anniversary Andrew<br />I love you<br />Here's to year four<br />Onward and upward (hopefully)Laura G.

I love putting them on Rosie to give her a little bling on a daily basis. I am excited to be able to offer these handmade bracelets to other moms now too because there is nothing much sweeter than a little babe adorned with some jewels.<br /><br />Here are a couple shots of Rosie wearing her bracelets all dressed up in her Sunday best.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Lou%20Lou%20and%20Co%20Stuff/photo2_zps70b2d647.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Lou%20Lou%20and%20Co%20Stuff/photo1_zpsaa82da6d.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Lou%20Lou%20and%20Co%20Stuff/photo-14_zps3c227c7d.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Lou%20Lou%20and%20Co%20Stuff/photo3_zps949f980e.jpg" width="343px" />The quality of the bracelets endures through lots of wear and even bath time. They are made with 14K gold plated or sterling silver plated beads and clasps. There is a link to our shop over on the sidebar of my blog (Lou Lou &amp; Co) with some of my bracelets and my sister's gorgeous swaddle blankets for sale.<br /><br />Right now we are having a giveaway on our Instagram account.

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful it feels to finally be finished. I don't think I ever truly believed this day would come. (Seriously!)<br /><br />School has never been an easy thing for me. I am the world's slowest reader, for one, and that made reading text books for classes a nightmare! I tend to over think and over stress every assignment, test and project which meant I had multiple emotional break downs per semester. My degree did not come easily lets just put it that way.<br /><br />But I am really so grateful that I pushed through and finished what I started four years ago. My freshman self never imagined that I would have been brave enough to study art and graduate with my BFA. Despite the fact that many people believe the art program to be impractical and a waste of time, I found that the most meaningful classes that I took were those in the art program. I personally grew so much from all of the class discussions, articles, critiques, books, and projects that were part of the program. I cannot thank my professors enough for their encouragement and advice. They were incredibly influential to my art and my creative process throughout college.<br /><br />I also have to thank my parents and husband for their continual support throughout college. They put up with my stressful bouts and tornado messes on a daily basis. They stayed up with me during those all-nighters and helped set up and take down two of my art shows on campus. I could not have done it without them.<br /><br />Now that I am graduated I no longer have assignments and deadlines given by my professors but<br />I<br />will<br />continue<br />to<br />make<br />art.<br />Making is the way that I process my thoughts and experiences and I would have little or nothing to say without that outlet. &nbsp;Making art is a defining part of who I am and who I want to become.Laura G.

More love than I even thought possible. And it's not like our marriage was lacking in this department before.<br /><br />But this love is new.<br />It's different.<br />And it's special.<br />I'm not sure I can even describe it.<br /><br />Her presence makes Andrew and I want to be better people so that she can grow up with good examples to pattern her life after. She has become a source of constant entertainment and makes us smile and laugh at even the simplest things. She brings a strong sense of the Spirit into our home. She is patient, kind, sweet, innocent and overall lovely to be around.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5711_zpse4392062.jpg" width="700px" />Thank you for bringing so much love into our home Rosie!Laura G.

He put a lot a thought into the words he said.<br /><br />He blessed her to be a faithful daughter of God with a strong understanding of who she is.<br />He blessed her with a desire to serve others.<br />He blessed her to be healthy and strong as she obeys the commandments.<br />He blessed her to have a desire to strengthen her mind and to learn about the joys and wonders of the earth.<br />He blessed her to be happy and caring toward others.<br /><br />Probably my most favorite part is when&nbsp;he blessed her to be able to confront difficulties with joy.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5403_zpsb46c711b.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5388_zpse6d5dd9d.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5384_zpsed9f4356.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5457_zps19e5e95d.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5328_zpsdd29036c.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5279_zpsb5e140f0.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5450_zpsf254cfa1.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5370_zpsd25cfb50.jpg" width="343px" /><br />This picture absolutely melts my heart.<img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Rosie%20Blessing/IMG_5442_zpsa6d499da.jpg" width="700px" />Laura G.

I quickly jotted down this statement in my phone as he was talking.<br /><br />"You have to love and care for that person because they are yours now."<br /><br />He melts me.<br /><br />We took family photos at Thanksgiving and despite the fact that I was swollen and 9 months pregnant, I always treasure capturing moments with Andrew.

I still cannot believe that my last week of school (forever) is ahead of me and that graduation is so near.

At each ultrasound she was bouncing around and wiggling like crazy.&nbsp;I have loved to watch (and feel) her grow and change over the weeks. I chose one photo from each of the ultrasounds that we got at 8, 11, 17, 20, and 26 weeks.<br /><br />I can't wait to meet her soon...in about 4 weeks now!Laura G.

The word cool does not even begin to describe it. It's beautiful, magical, clean, fresh, lovely, sparkly, open, quiet, astounding, and peaceful. These pictures do not even do this place justice but that didn't stop me from snapping a couple hundred while we were there.<br /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6106_zpsa8164ae8.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6109_zpsfd64bf52.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6119_zps78c628f1.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6131_zpsa752598d.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6143_zpsffffaefc.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6145_zps9f99d48c.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6156_zps2fc25ee8.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6173_zps30245e95.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6179_zpscb8de399.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6191_zpsddeeb8be.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6188_zps79599c98.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6302_zpsd38f4d47.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6283_zps9b8658ca.jpg" width="343px" />I would tell everyone I know to make the voyage out to the Spiral Jetty even if they are not huge fans of art. The location in and of itself is breathtaking. The artwork is an added bonus if you are not that into art. A little background for those who do not know what the Spiral Jetty is:<br /><br />It is an earthwork piece of art that was created in 1970 by Robert Smithson. He chose this location because he thought it looked so unearthly and kind of alien-like (which I would agree with). The work is made out of basalt rock and is located in the North East of the Great Salt Lake. It is 1500 feet long and 15 feet wide. Smithson did not originally believe that the sculpture would last very long so he documented it with a 32 minute film and was satisfied that viewers may only get to experience it through his documentation. Smithson died three years late in a plane crash as he was scouting out a location for a new earthwork. Since then, his wife and others have worked to preserve the integrity of the sculpture and the land surrounding it for people to come and experience the jetty in real life. The Jetty was constructed during a drought so for about 30 years after it was built it was submerged under water and could not be seen. Due to the differing weather throughout the recent years, it has been exposed in different degrees for people to see. <img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6253_zpsa95553d8.jpg" width="700px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6274_zps0d1eb363.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6263_zpsc3aa0c80.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q768/lauragzundel/Spiral%20Jetty/IMG_6268_zps66df1578.jpg" width="700px" />Baby Girl made the trek with me happily.Laura G.
